I used rivals for players too old to have been rated by 247.

I pretty much agree with that. I love the depth and versatility on the line this year. Gonna be a good one!

 

[AbarVolfan15]

McCullers and Sentimore were both 4-star recruits

I'm really excited to see our front 7. Those units have the potential to be very good, especially against the run.

Sentimore was, McCullers was not. (I used 247, they have surpassed Rivals imo.)

CB: Justin Coleman 4 star (no composite)


He has played like a two-star so far

How in the Hell could McCullers at 6'6 360 be a 3 star....I would think if you're That big and can run 50 yards without falling over, that alone would warrant 4 stars....JK,but not really. IMO underrated at 3 stars! I'd say come sep1 they'll be a few NC State OLmen that agree.....GBO

 

[matrosscbc]

Why do you guys get hung up on stars anyway..Ive never understood that...once they sign the stars mean nothing...we just had a 4-star run home to mommy for goodness sake.

 

[bham_orange]

Pardon my ignorance, but what do the numbers in parenthesis represent?

 

[matrosscbc]

BTW...we can't start 12 out there

 

[tabrams]

Art Evans is ahead of Coleman at CB....

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

BTW...we can't start 12 out there

dooode, calm down.

 

[matrosscbc]

Pardon my ignorance, but what do the numbers in parenthesis represent?

They mean nothing....absolutely nothing

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

BTW...we can't start 12 out there

I don't think the op was trying to insinuate that we could... He was just saying that Gordon will play the STAR position when the defensive formation calls for that.

 

[matrosscbc]

Not trying to rain down on the OP, just venting ....

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Who signed the pass that let you out of the negative zone? Please go back there. This area of VN is a happy place fo those of us who frequent here. Git on outta hea, gowan beat it, scram, skedaddle, shew, please do not let the door hit you on the way out...

Those star ratings really only matter to true freshman or Juco who haven't ever played FBS, if that.

Seriously?

Have to disagree with that. He was a true-freshman playing in the SEC.

What do you expect?

 

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

Art Evans is ahead of Coleman at CB....

Um...didn't he graduate

 

[SamRebel35]

Art Evans is ahead of Coleman at CB....

Actually I think Terry Fair is ahead of both of them at this point in time.

He's played like a freshman CB in the SEC. The last good ones I can remember were Janoris Jenkins and Stephon Gilmore. Patrick Peterson struggled some as a freshman and Joe Haden was horrible his first year.
